The organization International Aid Services (IAS) provides people in East Africawith clean water through well drilling. The wells are located in surroundingsfar away for the investors to inspect and therefore IAS wishes to be able to monitortheir wells to get a better overview if different types of improvements needto be made. To see the load on different water sources at different times of theday and during the year, and to know how many people that are visiting thewells, is of particular interest. In this paper, a method is proposed for countingpeople around the wells. The goal is to choose a suitable method for detectinghumans in images and evaluate how it performs. The area of counting humansin images is not a new topic, though it needs to be taken into account that thesituation implies some restrictions. A Raspberry Pi with an associated camerais used, which is a small embedded system that cannot handle large and complexsoftware. There is also a limited amount of data in the project. The methodproposed in this project uses a pre-trained convolutional neural network basedobject detector called the Single Shot Detector, which is adapted to suit smallerdevices and applications. The pre-trained network that it is based on is calledMobileNet, a network that is developed to be used on smaller systems. To see howgood the chosen detector performs it will be compared with some other models.Among them a detector based on the Inception network, a significantly larger networkthan the MobileNet. The base network is modified by transfer learning.Results shows that a fine-tuned and modified network can achieve better result,from a F1-score of 0.49 for a non-fine-tuned model to 0.66 for the fine-tuned one.
